NICE LIFE

Kyoto

I'm sorry for late posting;

Last Friday, I went to Kyoto for visiting and taking pics of Kinkakuji Temple, Ginkakuji Temple, and Ryoanji Temple. I have an architectural class, and this visiting is to make report of three temples, especially about their garden.
It was rainy and there were many many many students in Kyoto! The day I went to was a weekday (it's my university's birthday, so I had no class!) so I supposed that there were a lot of people. But I forgot one thing. In this season, Kyoto is very popular in red leaves, and many junior high and high schools have plans to have school trips or picnics! "OH NO!!!" I shouted in my mind. Anyway, I had a plan to visit and have lunch, I enjoyed it.
First, I went to Ginkakuji Temple. I love it! It's so beautiful! Lots of people like KinkakujiTemple better than Ginkakuji, but I don't. Actually, Kinkakuji is beautiful, but I can relax with seeing Ginkakuji better than Kinkakuji. Anyway, it depends on people.









Next, I had lunch at a cafe near to Ginkakuji. I don't know I've written that I like (or love) cafe here, but I'll say again. I like visiting cafe! I have cafe map in Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe. It's a kind of my Bible. I checkd some cafes the day before I visitted. And I chose one in the day. It's "cafe voir clair". It was small, and food was very delicious! I ordered lunce plate, and it contained three kinds of open sandwiches, salad, fruit, and soup. It made me very happy and comfortable. And whenever I go to cafe, I bring camera to take pics. Then, in this time, I had a SO GREAT PICTURES! I like them even the cameraman was me! So I'll post them later.

After I had lunch, I went to Ryoanji Temple and Kinkakuji Temple. If I visited there the week after, I couldn't see them. Do you know why? That's because, President of Bush was coming! I don't know how he felt about Kinkuji... There were many people in both temples, so I didn't have good time. I like quiet places. But it was my first time to visit these temple, so it was good holiday for me!
